ALSO: Trump tells reporters his "third term" speculation isn't a joke, and his loyal followers pretend that its still a joke, lament that it's not real, and mock liberals for their concern.

We discuss the methods Trump might use to run for a third term and wonder if this final power grab would be enough for normal liberals to start doing very cool things.

LASTLY: We review some instagram clickbait slop in the form of Nazbol butt rock. Can the far left and the far right unite to make cutting music for 13 year-olds about flying on broken wings??

We take a look at the actual story vs. the racists' fever dream and the victim's father's grace in tragedy vs. the wretched ooze seeping from childless misanthropes online.

TODAY: Bill Gates comes out in favor of AI replacing millions of workers, and we get to see the right react to a "bad" billionaire espousing the same exact views as the "good" ones.

Patriots weigh their hatred of workers against their hatred of "liberal progressive socialist tech billionaires," and some conclude that the wealthy elite owning the means of production might have some downsides.

PLUS: A MAGA man deputizes his facebook friends as US Marshalls and plans a daring attempt to take back control of the country and you could earn up to $500/day helping him reclaim government assets for the commander in chief.
